Well known playwright, writer, director
and actress, Kathleen Ruddy returns with
a subject all women will recognise; the
mother-in-law.
The Devil Wears Primark is a comedy,
centred around an unbalanced London
greek-Cypriot family coming together
to ‘celebrate’ the imminent award of an
MBE for their controlling matriarch.
However, things are not quite as they
seem for Athenoulla georgiou; her husband
was a closet cross-dresser with post-war
traumatic stress disorder, her daughter can
barely communicate and her vengeful
prodigal son flaunts a Turkish travelling
circus performer in front of her in an effort
to try and push the entire dysfunctional
mess right over the edge.
A guaranteed great night out for
daughter-in-laws everywhere!

Award-winning Borderline Theatre and Hirtle revive Sue glover’s
captivating play about liberty and lost love for its first Scottish
tour since 1988.
in the eighteenth century, it’s a stormy start to marriage for
seventeen year old isabel and her minister husband Aneas,
arriving from Edinburgh onto the remote island of Hirta
(St Kilda). Amongst the inhabitants lives Lady grange, who
appals and fascinates isabel with her stories of betrayal and
abduction. While isabel uncovers alarming similarities between
them, Lady grange clings to the two things she has left in the
world – a consuming rage and an old straw chair.
“A beguiling combination of things, starting with the incredible
story of Lady Grange, banished by her husband to the remoteness
of St Kilda. Hung around this framework is an evocation, as light
and sharp as spindrift, of the strange life on the island.”

© 1972 The Estate of Diane Arbus LLC
in its first ever ARTiST ROOMS exhibition,
Kirkcaldy galleries is thrilled to present the
work of leading American photographer Diane
Arbus (1923 –71). Famous for photographing
individuals marginalised by society, Arbus
refused to take pictures of her subjects in ways
that people wanted to see them, challenging
concepts of identity, beauty and normality.
Her unapologetic approach to photography
revealed the complexities of human nature and
relationships, making the ordinary extraordinary
and the misunderstood familiar.
The galleries will explore how her work reflected the social, political and economic changes taking
place throughout the united States from the 1950s –70s. Featuring twenty of her seminal pieces,
this exhibition and associated events will highlight how Arbus’ work and photographic technique
challenge the viewer to see beyond the shocking to the complexities of each individual subject.

The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway
musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments. Shakespeare’s Romeo and
Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City, as two young idealistic lovers find
themselves caught between warring street gangs, the ‘American’ Jets and the Puerto
Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one
of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.
Famous songs include Tonight, Maria, I Feel Pretty, Somewhere and America.
Based on a conception of Jerome Robbins, Book by Arthur Laurents, Music by Leonard Bernstein, Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Entire original production directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins
Originally produced on Broadway by Robert E. Griffith & Harold Prince by arrangement with Roger L. Stevens
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with JOSEF WEINBERGER LIMITED on behalf of MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL of NEW YORK.

OF BlaCK
Former Steps band member Faye Tozer stars
in this adult comedy responding to the erotic
Fifty Shades of Grey.
Boring, vanilla, Horlicks’ swiller William Shight’s most
interesting trait has always been his snigger inducing
name. up until now that is! Since landing his dream
job at one of the country’s top advertising agencies,
things have taken a cheeky turn for the shocking.
Christina Black, the company director, has taken a
shine to our William and attempts to seduce him
with an indecent proposal.
Willy tries in vain to resist but in the end relents and
signs a 69 page contract, the one Christina intends
to use to make a man out of him! The 20 pages of
“don’t” and 49 pages of “do whatever the hell i want”
leads William on a hilariously painful journey of
a lifetime.
This riotous new comedy has a whip cracking script
that promises to leave you wincing and laughing
in all the right places.
